Popculturology is the founding publication of The Omnicosm. It was originally launched as a news site in 2012 before going dormant in 2015. It was resurrected as a newsletter in 2022. The weekly newsletter publishes on Friday and covers all aspects of pop culture: Movies, TV, trailers, box office news, Star Wars, Marvel, Saturday Night Live and more.
Marvel Studios will release three big movies in 2025. PLUS: ‘The Batman’ pushed back, ‘Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man’ swings a new trailer, and James Bond drama.
The third ‘Sonic’ movie won the traditional three-day frame while the live-action ‘Lion King’ prequel captured the five-day long weekend.
Three things to know. Two trailers to watch. One article to read. Here’s what you need to know for this month.
The ‘Sonic’ franchise continues to be box office gold while Disney’s remake strategy begins to show weakness.
The show unleashed a wave of celebrity cameos — and the infamous ‘Weekend Update’ joke swap — as the ‘Only Murders’ star hosted for the fifth time.
The first trailer for James Gunn’s movie unveils a brighter take on the icon. And Krypto. PLUS: A ‘Bluey’ movie is in the works, a new ‘White Lotus’ trailer, and WBD opts out of ‘Sesame Street.’
Sony’s latest attempt at a Spider-Man spinoff opened even worse than ‘Madame Web.’
No, that cameo wasn’t Dana Carvey. This was thankfully the first Season 50 episode without a celebrity ringer in a political cold open.
The MCU pillar returns for ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ while the animated classic will get a live-action remake. PLUS: ‘Hot Ones’ finds a buyer, ‘Severance’ and ‘28 Years Later’ get trailers, and who’s playing Jabba’s son?
The Disney sequel led another big weekend at the box office, with ‘Wicked’ and ‘Gladiator II’ putting up great numbers too.
The celebration of the show’s fiftieth season has morphed into a celebration of just the former cast member.
The new ‘Star Wars’ show teases a mystery at its core. PLUS: HBO’s ‘Harry Potter’ makes a Snape offer, the live-action ‘Snow White’ trailer exists, and is ‘Dune: Prophecy’ now doin’ enough?
